1.0 Introduction

Figure 1. Sample Scenario Using the KIV-7 for Type-1 Encryption

This document describes how to configure the KlasHopper 600 PCMCIA to dial with a KIV-7.  Figure 1 represents a typical KlasHopper scenario in a deployed environment using satellite communications to connect back to a home network.  In this example, the KlasHopper 600 on the Mobile Side is initiating a PPP connection using the KIV-7 for Type-1 Encryption.  On the Home Side, the PPP connection can be terminated by either a router or another PC.  On both sides, a KlasTA is used to access the Public ISDN network through the M4 INMARSAT terminals.  Follow the directions in this document to configure the KlasHopper 600 network interface and complete the steps required to create and use a Dial-up Networking connection from a Windows 2000 PC.

 

2.0 Cable Connections

Prior to beginning, ensure the following cable connections have been properly secured:

1. KlasHopper 600 is connected to the female RS-530 connector on the KIV-7.
2. Black KIV-7 cable is connected to the male RS-530 connector of the KIV-7 and the female RS-530 synchronous serial port on the KlasTA.
3. ISDN cables are connected to the RJ-45 ISDN Output Ports 1 and 2 from KlasTA and the ISDN ports on each M4 Terminal.

3.0 Configure the KIV-7

The KIV-7 has a specific sequence of settings that allow it to encrypt data using the RS-530 serial data port.  Follow the instructions from Application Note Q100004 in order to configure the KIV-7 so that it will work properly with the KlasHopper 600 and KlasTA.

4.0 KlasHopper PCMCIA 600 Setup (Dial)

To configure the KlasHopper 600 PCMCIA network interface, follow the instructions below.

1. From the Windows 2000 Desktop, go to Start – Programs – KlasHopper 600 PCMCIA – KlasHopper 600 PCMCIA Configure.
2. In the KlasHopper 600 PCMCIA Setup Screen, select the ‘Manual Dial’ option from the ‘Connection Mode’ field.
